A better way may be using Keyboard Macros

I prefer to:

`C-M-n'
     Move forward over a parenthetical group (`forward-list').

`C-M-p'
     Move backward over a parenthetical group (`backward-list').

`C-M-u'
     Move up in parenthesis structure (`backward-up-list').

`C-M-d'
     Move down in parenthesis structure (`down-list').

the above keys did not work for me.

    Wen> 4. Should I really need to switch to emacs?
That depends on yourself. But I would like to say emacs isn't as difficult as
you may think. Please don't draw a conclusion until you have been using it for a
month.

3 months is the plan
